Think you're right.

Not sure about this one, though. In

     http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

it just says that an abbreviated form is used if it's available, I can't find any reference
that E=W and EE=We. Isn't it E=Wed and EE=Wed instead?

If we can clarify this, I'll apply your patch in 0.52. Thanks!
